Nigerian boxer Cynthia Temitayo Ogunsemilore has been suspended from the Paris Olympics for violating an anti-doping rule, the International Testing Agency said Saturday. A sample collected from the boxer "has returned an adverse analytical finding for the specified prohibited substance furosemide," the ITA said in a statement. Furosemide is classified under "diuretics and masking agents" by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the ITA added. The sample was collected in Paris on Thursday, a day before the Olympics opening ceremony, and reported by a WADA-accredited laboratory on Saturday.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Cam Collier and Emiliano Teodo represent two extremes on the player acquisition spectrum. The Cincinnati Reds drafted Collier, a third baseman and son of a former big leaguer, out of junior college in the first round (18th overall) of the 2022 draft and gave him a $5 million bonus. The Texas Rangers signed a 19-year-old Teodo, ancient by Dominican amateur standards, for $10,000 in 2020.
BOSTON — Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers has been scratched from the All-Star Game with left shoulder soreness.
